The three soldiers ran hard towards the direction of the 702 regiment's station.
The leader, Xu Sanduo, was running while dragging the two guys behind him with his backpack straps, just like a tracker. He was also out of breath and very tired.
Among the two guys at the back, one was relatively relaxed and kept urging: "Xu Sanduo, hurry up, you are stepping on ants." The other one was staggering, breathing disorderly, and looked like he might fall to the ground at any time.
After running for about a kilometer, Xu Sanduo couldn't run anymore. His speed gradually slowed down and his running turned into small steps. Bai Tiejun behind him started walking directly.
"Xu Sanduo, Bai Tiejun, run!" Chen Fei turned his head, glanced at it, and scolded.
"I...I can't do it anymore!" Bai Tiejun simply stopped and couldn't move. At this time, Xu Sanduo in front of him pulled, but he was exhausted and couldn't pull anymore.
Chen Fei was also very tired, but he still felt that he should persist. Exercise at this time is the most effective. He turned to look at Bai Tiejun, but before he could speak, Bai Tiejun pointed with his hand and said: "
Look, there's someone over there who needs help."
Chen Fei knew that this must be Bai Tiejun's excuse, but he couldn't help but look in the direction Bai Tiejun pointed. After taking a look, he realized that what Bai Tiejun said was actually true.
On one side, on a country road more than 300 meters away from them, an old man was pedaling a tricycle up a slope. However, because the slope was steep and the things on the car were heavy, he had to pedal several times.
They failed, and the tricycle fell backwards instead.
Bai Tiejun let out a breath, and then said feebly: "The army and the people are one family. When the people encounter difficulties, how can we, the people's soldiers, remain indifferent? Let's go over and help!" He said while carrying the backpack in his hand.
As soon as he threw it away, he turned around and walked over there.
Chen Fei knew that Bai Tiejun just wanted to be lazy, but at this moment, the reason he gave was really irrefutable. The old man over there really needed help, so he and Xu Sanduo looked at each other, and for a moment, he followed
After walking over, Xu Sanduo quickly put away the strap of his backpack and caught up with him.
Bai Tiejun was the first to walk towards the old man, but his walking speed was too slow, like stepping on ants, so Chen Fei reached the old man's house first, and Xu Sanduo quickly caught up with him.
"Old man, let's help you!" Chen Fei came to the back of the old man who was struggling to pedal the tricycle, shouted, and then quickly held down the reversing tricycle. Xu Sanduo also rushed forward and worked hard together.
The old man turned back and glanced at Chen Fei and Xu Sanduo. Seeing that they were from the army, a kind smile suddenly appeared on his frowning face: "Thank you two little comrades, sorry for bothering you!"
"You're welcome, old man, the military and civilians are all close friends!" Chen Fei opened his mouth and came.
The old man laughed and pedaled the tricycle with force on his legs.
With the help of Chen Fei and Xu Sanduo, the old man quickly rode the tricycle to the top of the slope.
call--
Chen Fei let out a breath, then raised his eyes and looked around. When he found that the nearest village was about a mile away, he asked: "Old man, where do you live?"
"Not far away, just ahead, Yangcun!"
Chen Fei glanced at the tricycle. The tricycle contained a lot of agricultural products dug out of the ground. The full cart was still very heavy, so he said, "Old man, can we help you push it home?"
"No, no, no! Thank you, little comrade, but there's really no need to bother. My home is right in front, not far away, and this section is all flat, no need to go uphill."
However, Chen Fei winked at Xu Sanduo, and the two of them pushed together. Chen Fei pushed and said: "Old man, don't be polite. The military and civilians are one family and don't see anyone outside."
Chen Fei and Xu Sanduo were pushing the tricycle. When the old man saw that Chen Fei and Xu Sanduo were insisting, he couldn't say anything else. He just leaned over and pedaled hard, so the speed of the tricycle suddenly increased.
"Wait for me - you guys wait for me -"
Bai Tiejun, who had just climbed up the hillside, saw Chen Fei and Xu Sanduo running away in a puff of smoke and shouted quickly, but Chen Fei and Xu Sanduo ignored them. He ran forward three or four steps, then simply stopped and looked around.
Look, I found a piece of grass and fell asleep. I looked like a big character, not too big, but big. That point was so small that it could almost be ignored.
Front.
Chen Fei and Xu Sanduo pushed the tricycle into a small courtyard.
The yard is not big, nor is it nice. The house is old and everything is old, but it is neat and tidy inside and out.
"Old man, are you the only one at home?"
Chen Fei looked around and was very surprised.
"Well, my son and daughter both work out of town, and my wife has passed away many years ago, so I am the only one at home." The old man replied with a smile while quickly pouring water for Chen Fei and Xu Sanduo.
Chen Fei was really thirsty, so he didn't leave immediately. He planned to drink some water before leaving.
"Come, two young comrades, drink some water first!" The old man handed over two cups. The cups were both glass cups. They were clean and seemed to be wiped frequently. They were extremely bright. The water inside was neither hot nor cold, but warm.
Boiled water is suitable for drinking in one gulp.
Gudong Gudong Gudong.
Chen Fei finished the drink in one go, wiped his mouth, and returned the cup to the old man.
"Little comrade, would you like another drink?"
"No need, we are running, we can't drink too much."
At this time, Xu Sanduo was still drinking water in small sips, so Chen Fei asked casually: "Old man, will you live a long life this year?"
"Almost eighty!" the old man said as he walked inside.
After hearing this, Chen Fei's eyes widened and he looked at the other person up and down: "Old man, have you been a soldier before? Otherwise, you wouldn't be in such good health. How can you still work in the fields when you are almost eighty?"
The old man laughed: "There are a few people of our generation who have never served in the military. If they don't pick up a gun and fight the enemy, their families will be gone. Anyone of our generation who can live to this age will either die or die."
Either they are big or they are in good health, haha, I am lucky enough to have both!"
Chen Fei listened and nodded. What the old man said was very reasonable.
At this time, Xu Sanduo finished drinking the water.
"Old man, let's go then!"
"Wait a minute!" The old man came out with a plate. There were a lot of melon seeds, candies and other things on the plate. He brought the plate to Chen Fei and Xu Sanduo: "Here, eat some candy to satisfy your craving."
"No, no, no!" Chen Fei and Xu Sanduo quickly refused.
"You said that the military and civilians are a family. Why, if you can help me, can't I treat you to something to eat?" The old man became unhappy and his face sank.
When Chen Fei saw it, he quickly smiled and said: "Okay, okay, old man, let's eat then!" As he said this, he grabbed a few candies and some melon seeds, and Xu Sanduo also imitated him and grabbed a handful.
"Old man, let's leave first!" Chen Fei and Xu Sanduo said goodbye quickly.
"Okay, then walk slowly and come to my house to play when you have time!" The old man smiled and sent them to the entrance of the village.
Chen Fei and Xu Sanduo jogged all the way, and it took them several minutes to return to Bai Tiejun.
"Why did you just come back?" Bai Tiejun muttered dissatisfiedly. He was almost rested now, he was full of energy, and he had the energy to complain about people.
Chen Fei slapped the candy he took from the old man into Bai Tiejun's hand. When Bai Tiejun saw it, his eyes lit up and he stopped talking. He ate it and said: "You guys
Why don’t you catch more——”
Chen Fei rolled his eyes at him: "I am a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War. How dare you take more?"
"A veteran of the Anti-Japanese War——"
The three people started trotting again.
When the three people ran back to Wu Liuyi, Wu Liuyi's face was like a sky about to rain, gloomy and gloomy. The three people were still more than two hundred meters away from him, so he cursed: "You guys are
Have you become a snail? It’s been almost thirty minutes! I just asked you to run at your own pace, not at a snail’s pace. Look, what time is it now?”
He raised the stopwatch in his hand.
When he ran in front of Wu Liuyi, Bai Tiejun said weakly: "Squad deputy, we are not lazy, are we going to help an old soldier?"
"Old soldier?" Wu Liuyi sneered.
Bai Tiejun hurriedly added: "Yes, shift deputy, when we came back we saw an Anti-Japanese War veteran riding a three-wheeled motorcycle uphill. It was very difficult, so the three of us quickly went up to help and helped him push the motorcycle to his home.
This time, it’s delayed.”
But after Wu Liuyi heard this, not only did he not lessen his blame for the three people, but he also looked disdainful: "Return to the veterans of the Anti-Japanese War? Bai Tiejun, you can do it, your ability to make up stories is getting stronger and stronger! Veterans of the Anti-Japanese War are all
Made it up!”
"Deputy deputy——" Bai Tiejun wanted to make some more excuses.
However, Wu Liuyi didn't give him a chance, and immediately roared: "Bai Tiejun, let me tell you, there are no old soldiers within a radius of fifty miles. We visit and condolences the veterans every year, and the nearest place is seventy miles away! You just want to
It’s a lie, you can make up a better story!”
After hearing this, Bai Tiejun turned his head and looked at Chen Fei aggrievedly.
Chen Fei was also stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Squad deputy, what did you just say? You said there are no old soldiers nearby?"
Wu Liuyi's attitude towards Chen Fei was a little better, but he was still a little unhappy and said with a sullen face: "Yes, we go to visit the soldiers every year, but not in this area."
Chen Fei became more and more confused after hearing this.
No, that old man is obviously a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, and when I asked him before, he didn’t deny it!
"Deputy deputy, the old man we just went to help, he really looks like a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, and I asked him, and he didn't deny it!" Chen Fei said seriously.
